Abstract
The 400 straight run, day old Vencobb broilers chicks were randomly divided into fourtreatment groups of 100 birds each viz., control, T1, T2 and T3. Each group was further
divided into two replications of 50 birds each. Four iso-caloric and iso-proteinous
experimental rations were formulated by replacing maize with jowar, bajra and broken rice at
25 %. The control group having diet with 100 % maize. The soyabean meal was the sole
protein source for all the four rations (control, T1, T2 and T3). The observations of the
parameters were taken on weekly basis and were analysed by using Completely
Randomized Design (CRD) and simple arithmetic calculations. The use of different energy
sources i.e. jowar, bajra and broken rice can be very well replaced with maize in broiler
ration without affecting the performance of the broiler.
